4. How to Enter:

Participate in a Panel. Promoter collects data from individuals who participate in one of its Web sites dedicated to conducting consumer surveys (“Panels”). To participate in the Prize Draw, you must be a member of a Panel. To access a list of Panels including one or more Panel in your jurisdiction, please see http://akamai.eprizecdn.net/SurveySamplingInternational/Reward Terms & Privacy.pdf. You may already be a member of a Panel or you may register to join a Panel for free during the Promotion Period. You do not earn an entry by registering, but you cannot participate in a survey without being a registered member of a Panel.

Participate in Survey. During the Promotion Period, the Promoter will invite members of the Panels to participate in surveys that solicit the responses and answers to survey questionnaires. When you complete a survey, you receive one (1) entry in the Prize Draw for the prize offered for your country of residence for the Entry Period drawing (as described above in Section 3) associated with the date and time of your participation. If you are unable to complete the survey because you receive a 'screened out' notice or message when attempting to take a survey or a 'quota full' message when attempting to take a survey, you will also receive one (1) entry in the Prize Draw for the Entry Period associated with the date and time of your attempted survey participation. The entry will be included in a drawing based on the Panel member’s country of residence, as set forth in Section 6 below.

Redeem Points. Promoter operates a Rewards program for those who are members of a Panel. Details about the Rewards program are available at http://akamai.eprizecdn.net/SurveySamplingInternational/Reward Terms & Privacy.pdf. Pursuant to the terms of the Rewards program, one can earn points when one completes a survey. Points can then be used for various options. One of the ways they can be used is to be “exchanged” for an entry into this Prize Draw. To exchange the points for an entry, entrants can log in to their Panel account and click on the "Claim Rewards" page link. Select the Prize Draw reward option to view the number of points needed to redeem for one (1) entry. Upon making this selection, you will receive one (1) entry in the Prize Draw for the prize offered for your country of residence for the Entry Period associated with the date and time of your selection.

Alternate Method of Entry For Residents of Switzerland ONLY: To enter without taking any of the actions described by Subsections (b) – (c), email your request for an entry to SSI@HelloWorldfulfillment.com and include your name, address, email address, and age. You will receive one (1) entry into the applicable Entry Period drawing for the Switzerland Prize. All email entries become the exclusive property of Promoter, and none will be acknowledged or returned. Proof of sending or submission will not be deemed to be proof of receipt by Promoter. Promoter is not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible, illegible, misdirected or postage-due entries, which will be disqualified.

Entry Restrictions. Each eligible entrant must have his/her own e-mail address, separate from the e-mail address of any other eligible entrant. Any attempt by any entrant to obtain entries by using multiple/different e-mail addresses, identities, registrations and log-ins, or any other method(s), will void all of that participant’s entries and may subject such individual to additional sanctions or penalties in accordance with the applicable Panel terms and conditions. Use of any automated system to participate in the Prize Draw is strictly prohibited and will result in disqualification and all entries submitted or received via such automated system will be void. Neither the Promoter nor the Administrator are responsible for lost, late, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible or misdirected information or entries, which will be disqualified and void. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of any entrant, the authorized account holder (as defined herein) of the e-mail address used by, or connected to, the eligible entrant will be deemed to be the entrant. The “authorized account holder” is the natural person assigned an e-mail address by an Internet access provider, online service provider, Internet service provider or any other organisation responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. Potential winners may be required to show proof of being the authorised account holder.

5. Prize Drawings and Verification of Potential Winners: Winning is contingent upon complying with all the terms and conditions of, and fulfilling all requirements contained in, these Official Rules. The Administrator, an independent judging organisation, will randomly select one (1) potential Prize Draw winner from all eligible entries received from residents of each country during each Entry Period on the dates specified in Section 3 above. Each draw will take place at the Administrator’s offices at the address set forth above, at around 17:00 GMT. Entries, whether winning or non-winning, will not be included, in any subsequent Entry Period draws. The potential winners shall be notified by e-mail on the date following the Prize Draw. Except where prohibited and without prejudice to Section 8, each potential winner will be required to sign and return winner documentation, as determined by the Promoter at its sole discretion, to confirm eligibility, grant limited publicity rights, and release the Promoter and Administrator of liability or for any other reason deemed necessary by the Promoter. If potential winner is a minor in his/her country of residence, the potential winner’s parent(s) or legal guardian(s) will complete the winner documentation including express authorization for the use of the minor’s name, likeness, photograph, voice, opinions and/or home town/city/village and state/region/county pursuant to Section 8 below, and express authorization for data processing pursuant to Section 12 below. In addition, the potential winners from Belgium, India, Singapore and Thailand must correctly answer a time-limited, skill-testing question, and potential winners from Argentina must correctly answer a cultural question, in order to receive the prize. If documentation is required, it must be received by the Promoter or Administrator within the time frame indicated at the time of the initial win notification, otherwise the potential winner forfeits the prize. If a potential winner cannot be contacted, fails to sign and return the required documentation or correctly answer the skill-testing or cultural question (as applicable), or the prize is returned as undeliverable, the potential winner forfeits all rights in and/or to the prize. Receiving a prize is contingent upon compliance with these Official Rules. In the event that a potential winner is disqualified for any reason, the Administrator will award the applicable prize to an alternative winner following a random draw from among all remaining eligible entries from the applicable country. Only three (3) alternative draws will be held, after which the prize will remain unawarded. Prizes will be fulfilled approximately ten (10) to twelve (12) weeks after winner verification. Any unawarded prize(s) will not be combined with the prize(s) for, or otherwise carried over to, any subsequent Entry Period.

United Kingdom Prizes: FOUR (4) UNITED KINGDOM PRIZES (one (1) per Entry Period): £5,000 GBP. Total Value of United Kingdom Prizes: £20,000 GBP.

For All Prizes: Prizes will be awarded as cash in the indicated currency. Winners may be required to set up a money transfer account, as directed by the Promoter, in order to receive their prize. Prizes are non-transferable and no substitution will be made except as provided herein at the Promoter’s sole discretion. The Promoter reserves the right to substitute a prize for one of equal or greater value if the designated prize should become unavailable for any reason. Neither the Promoter nor the Administrator shall be liable or responsible for any lost, stolen or misplaced prizes, unless due to the fault of the Promoter or the Administrator. Winners are responsible for all taxes and fees associated with prize receipt and/or use. Promoter reserves the right to withhold a portion of the prize to be provided to the appropriate tax authorities. The odds (chances) of winning a prize depend upon the number of eligible entries received from Panel members residing within each eligible country during each Entry Period and upon correctly answering the time-limited, skil-testing question (if applicable). Limit: One (1) prize per person, per Entry Period.

9. General Conditions: The Promoter reserves the right to cancel, suspend and/or modify the Prize Draw, or any part of it, if any fraud, technical failures, human error or any other factor independent from the Promoter or Administrator impairs the integrity or proper functioning of the Prize Draw, as determined by Promoter in its sole discretion. In such event, Promoter, in its sole discretion, may elect to hold a random drawing, followed by a time-limited skill-testing question (if applicable), from among all eligible entries received up to the date of discontinuance for any or all of the prizes offered herein. The Promoter reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual that it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Prize Draw or to be acting in violation of these Official Rules or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any attempt by any person to deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of the Prize Draw may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and should such an attempt be made, the Promoter reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Promoter’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.

For Residents of Argentina Only: By entering the Prize Draw, the participant hereby represents and acknowledges that she/he has fully understood the conditions in accordance with the Spanish version provided herein, after analyzing and consulting with appropriate Argentine professionals the full implications of entering.

10.

If for any reason an entrant's entry is confirmed to have been erroneously deleted, lost or otherwise destroyed or corrupted, the entrant’s sole remedy is another entry into the Prize Draw, if it is possible. If the Prize Draw, or any part of it, is discontinued for any reason, Promoter in its sole discretion, may elect to hold a random draw, followed by a time-limited skill-testing question (if applicable), from among all the eligible entries received up to the date of discontinuance for any or all of the prizes offered herein. No more than the stated number of prizes will be awarded. In the event that production, technical, seeding, programming or any other reasons cause more than the stated number of prizes as set forth in these Official Rules to be available and/or claimed, the Promoter reserves the right to award only the stated number of prizes via a random draw, followed by a time-limited skill-testing question (if applicable), among all the legitimate, un-awarded, eligible prize claims. This clause does not apply to damage caused by Promoter’s fault, either by their acts, negligence, imprudence, misconduct ,or fraud, if the Released Parties act fraudulently, or to the extent Promoter causes any personal injury, bodily harm or death.

11. Disputes: Except where prohibited and/or contrary to mandatory provisions of applicable local law, the entrant agrees that: (1) any and all disputes, claims and causes of action arising out of, or connected with, this Prize Draw or any prize awarded shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action, and exclusively by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan (Southern Division) or the appropriate Michigan State Court located in Oakland County, Michigan, U.S.A.; (2) any and all claims, judgments and awards shall be limited to actual out-of-pocket costs incurred, including costs associated with entering this Prize Draw, but in no event lawyers’ fees; and (3) UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL THE ENTRANT BE PERMITTED TO OBTAIN AWARDS FOR, AND THE ENTRANT HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO CLAIM, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES AND ANY OTHER DAMAGES, OTHER THAN FOR ACTUAL OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES, AND ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO HAVE DAMAGES MULTIPLIED OR OTHERWISE INCREASED.

This section is not applicable where German law applies.

For French Residents Only: Under French law, provisions which limit the consumer’s right to bring a legal action or limit the amount of damages claimed do not apply to French participants.
